PROVISIONAL ALL-WEATHER CARD PROGRAMMED FOR LINGFIELD PARK ON 11 DECEMBER 2010

08 Dec 2010 Pre-2014 Releases

Due to the current spell of weather continuing to cause the abandonment of fixtures on turf, the British Horseracing Authority, in conjunction with the Horserace Betting Levy Board, has created a provisional Flat Card on the All-Weather at Lingfield Park for Saturday 11 December. 

The turf course at Lingfield Park is currently snow covered and frozen in places.  An inspection is planned for 10.30am on Friday, at which point the provisional card that follows will be triggered should turf racing be abandoned.

As the National Hunt Flat Race on the Jump card was due to be run on the all-weather track this race will be carried over to the provisional card.  This race will not be re-opened. Declarations are to be made as advertised by 10.00am on Friday 10 December.   

The new races will close at noon on Thursday 9 December, with declarations to be made by 10.00am on Friday 10 December.  A running order and full race conditions are attached, please note that the National Hunt Flat race will be the first race on the card.
